Nursery Life

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage using a wide range of resources and materials tailored to suit every child's needs and interests. We encourage children to play and explore in an active way and to become critical thinkers.

Your child's development is closely monitored and recorded by their key person. You can easily follow their progress and well-being through our family App which allows us to communicate regularly with parents through daily feedback and termly Progress reports.

Your child's welfare is very important to us and we endeavour to make sure all children are cared for in a safe and secure environment. We also encourage them to develop as independent individuals.

Children are given the chance to go outside throughout the day. As well as offering an outdoor classroom, our garden is the perfect place to play and be active in the open. 

All children take part in Yoga, Makaton and cooking activities on a weekly basis.  They are also taught Music by a specialist teacher from Caterpillar Music. From two onwards, children engage in weekly Sport sessions led by qualified and accredited coaches from Totstar and enjoy well-being sessions led by an outside professional. French is taught from the age of three by the Director who is a native speaker and a qualified teacher.

Children have a natural curiosity of the world in which they live and we aim to provide opportunities to extend their learning through various excusions to local farms, museums and theatres. Such outings help to enrich the curriculum with first hand experiences. We also welcome authors and specialists visitors such as Zoolab.
